Title: Jeeves and the Artistic Verisimilitude
Author: PurpleFluffyCat
Canon: Jeeves & Wooster
Pairing: Reginald Jeeves/Bertie Wooster
Rating: Explicit [🌶️]
Word Count: 51,651
Summary: "Surely, one would think nothing could be more relaxing for a young Wooster than a week spent by the seaside? - Golf and sand-castle building without an aunt in sight! One may think so, indeed, but the combination of several 'friends' with their own agendas, a theatrical production and the mysterious designs of my very own valet conspired to make that week spent in Spindleythorpe-on-sea one of the most memorable and life-changing of the lot..." There will be fortune tellers! And Gilbert and Sullivan! And (the chaps are rather glad to hear), plenty of romantic fluffy goodness!

Recommendation: I liked this story and enjoyed it enough that I would like to share it with you.

Title: What Love Is
Author: RaeDMagdon
Canon: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Pairing: Adora/Catra
Rating: Explicit [NC-17]
Word Count: 58,403
Summary: Season 1 AU Ending. Bright Moon stands, but Adora has been captured and taken to the Fright Zone. While Catra tries to figure out how She-ra's sword works, and struggles with her unresolved feelings for her ex-friend, Shadow Weaver has an agenda of her own...

Recommendation: I just love the idea of Catra getting a chance at self-reflection and redemption earlier when she has less to regret. I love that Kyle get a chance at doing the heroic thing. And I love Shadow Weaver getting her comeuppance earlier cause yeah.

Recommendation #3,058

Title: A Friend of a Friend

Author: GoldenEmpire

Canon: Harry Potter Series

Pairing: James Potter/Severus Snape; side of Lucius Malfoy/Severus Snape

Rating: Not Rated [NC-17]

Word Count: 53,071

Summary: James really wants to go to the New Year's ball with Lily, but she has one condition - James has to befriend her best friend and his archenemy, Snape. The Gryffindor sets out on this daring quest of being nice to the Slytherin, and accidentally learns things he never though he would about the boy and his past. Suddenly James finds himself with a lot of complicated feelings that could ruin everything he thinks he has with Lily. Maybe he doesn't want to go to the ball with her after all...

Recommendation: This is the very first time that I am recommending a story AFTER is was deleted from it's original archive. In full fairness, I'd planned to rec it before I just didn't get to it in time so it is archived on the Internet Archive now. I loved this one so much. I loved the gentle growth of James and Severus's relationship that quickly deepens beyond the ulterior motives at its beginning. I also adored the author fleshing out James's family, that was wonderful.

Title: There's a Place for Us

Author: smithpepper

Canon: Hunter x Hunter

Pairing: Kurapika/Leorio Paladiknight

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 52,946

Summary: Tired of worrying about Kurapika, Leorio hatches a plan to keep him safe. (Set somewhere between the York Shin and Dark Continent arcs.)

Recommendation: I love that this fleshes out Leorio and his journey and how he has been trying to reach out to Kurapika. I love them being in his home, but all of the drama of Kurapika's hunt is still there. Good, good stuff.

Recommendation #2,945

Title: If We Can Find a Way to Be Okay
Author: whitherwaywill
Canon: Cobra Kai
Pairing: Miguel Diaz/Robby Keane
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 51,945
Summary: Robby is standing under one of the dim streetlights, utterly frozen. Miguel doesn’t let himself stop to think. “Hey! Keene!”. In which Miguel stops Robby from going to Kreese.

Recommendation: Sometimes the only thing needed to change the course of someone’s life is for someone to reach out and to keep reaching out no matter what others think about it. Miguel is just too good for this world, our sweet summer child! And if that chance leads to a redemption arc and a nice long slow burn, so much the better.

Title: The Truth series
Author: AmethystUnarmed
Canon: My Hero Academia
Pairing: Touya Todoroki/Keigo Takami
Rating: Teen [PG]
Word Count: 53,496
Summary: Hawks gets hit with a truth quirk right before a meeting with Dabi. Dabi thinks it'll be fun. It isn't.

Recommendation: Oh man, I love all of Hawks' bird traits. I love that even though the villains of done unconscionable things you still find that you can't but agree with a fair number of their points especially when they're being all cute and found-family like. You just want these damaged people to have love and acceptance.

Recommendation #2,867

Title: First Impressions

Author: manic_intent

Canon: Rivers of London

Pairing: Peter Grant/Thomas Nightingale

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 54,963

Summary: You could say that I first got a Clue that my governor maybe, kind of, had a sort of Thing for me when Molly started methodically oversalting all my food and drink. Including the hot cocoas.

Recommendation: I count my lucky stars when I fall into a new fandom only to find that manic_intent has written in it, because I know I'm about to read the good stuff. This does not disappoint. Not only does it had an ensemble cast it also has a case that needs solving as well as feelings that need to be sorted out. So much delicious plot.

Unknown dangers lurk around every corner, and now, Guillermo will have to rely on his wits, his slayer skills, and help from his dumbass roommates to track Nandor down. What could go wrong?

Recommendation: OH MY GOD! This was so good! Gah! Guillermo is so badass! He and Nadja being best frenemies for life! Gumshoeing! Shenanigans! Murder! Confessions! All the good things.

Title: Out of Body

Author: bobmoss

Canon: Mob Psycho 100

Pairing: Arataka Reigen/Katsuya Serizawa

Rating: Mature [R]

Word Count: 50,682

Summary: Serizawa's recovery seems to be going so well, but then he suddenly develops a habit of accidental out of body experiences during panic attacks.

Recommendation: Happy birthday to me because this was wonderful! And it deserves a full review but I’m pressed for time at the moment so suffice it to say that, it is wonderful and I will probably be back to give it a proper write up later.

Title: (Do You Take This Jerk to Be) Your One and Only

Author: jatersade

Canon: Avatar the Last Airbender

Pairing: Zuko/Sokka

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 55,846

Summary: Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes. The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand. The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s. Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.

Recommendation: This is charming! And it deserves a full review but I’m pressed for time at the moment so suffice it to say that, it is wonderful and I will probably be back to give it a proper write up later.

Recommendation #2,727

Title: Counterplay

Author: Amalgam000

Canon: Star Trek VOY

Pairing: Kathryn Janeway/Chakotay

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 52,231

Summary: Counterplay: in chess, an active maneuvering by the player in an inferior or defensive position. An episode “re-write” for Endgame (s7e25), in which the visitor from the future is not Admiral Janeway…

Recommendation: Uh, this was so good! Endgame deserves as many rewrites as we can manage but this one is *chef's kiss* magnificent. I feel like all of the emotional beats hit just that much harder and the future is just that much more dire and deserving of a redo. And then, we totally get to have the crew arrive in the Alpha Quadrant and have time to allow Kathryn and Chakotay to unpack some of their baggage. Uh, so satisfying. I also feel like Seven is handled well and isn't just shoved aside for the main pairing, also good.

Recommendation #2,449

Title: The Care and Keeping of Camelot

Author: Roseus

Canon: Merlin BBC

Pairing: Morgana/Gwen; Arthur Pendragon/Merlin

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 55,368

Summary: With Arthur dead, Camelot's destiny has soured--if it was ever any good to begin with. Gwen is fed up with grief and mediocrity and takes matters into her own hands, returning to the start to make a better Camelot or break history trying. Knighthood, rekindling her first love, and Merlin's silly almanac are all just byproducts.

Recommendation: This was so WONDERFUL! Gwen and Merlin being bros and getting things FIXED! Uh, this was so good I got far less sleep than I should have but it was totally worth it. I love all of the relationships, I love all of the changes, I want to show to go back and do THIS. Gwen being badass, and so lovable, Merlin being honest, Morgana getting actual love and support, all the good things. And the final showdown, perfection.

Recommendation #2,349

Title: Wedding Is Destiny, and Hanging Likewise

Author: sqbr

Podficcer: gracicah

Canon: Pride and Prejudice

Pairing: Mary Bennet/Anne de Bourgh

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 58,187

Summary: In which Mary Bennet becomes a companion to Anne de Bourgh and neither of them gets quite what they were bargaining for.

Recommendation: Oh, I almost don't have the words to describe how much I loved this story. It was *chef's kiss* p-e-r-f-e-c-t-i-o-n. I thought that the characterizations were all so spot on to the novel, even were the character had been expanded it felt so organic and just . . . right. Mary is so interesting in this in that she has not been soften from her novel persona to be more appealing, instead sqbr does a wonderful job of making her "herself" whilst also giving us a deeper understanding of her that allows us to like her more. Anne who was less featured in the novel is more of a new creation but her character still feels right as an extension of her mother and her circumstances as well as a rejection of same. She is a disaster lesbian and I love her. I'm not sure if the author intended this or not but I also read Mary as neurodivergent. And if the story itself wasn't wonderful enough, gracicah has put forward as truly stellar podfic performance of this story that I enjoyed greatly. I can not recommend this all highly enough.

Recommendation #2,322

Title: From Eden

Author: smile_it_will_get_better

Canon: It

Pairing: Richie Tozier/Eddie Kaspbrak

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 50,255

Summary: He wasn’t leaving town without Eddie, even if he had to pack his smaller friend into a suitcase in order to smuggle him out. -- When Richie leaves Derry, he takes his best friend with him. By the time they get called back to face Pennywise again, the two of them are happily married.

Recommendation: This was wonderful! I love that Eddie and Richie are never separated even if it's weird to think that they still forgot where they came from. (Their dog, OMG!) And just as a heads up, Eddie makes it but there are some serious repercussions to their fight with It though I thought they were handled well.

Title: Now We're Young Enough to Try to Build a Better Life

Author: tuntekorpp

Canon: The Punisher | MCU

Pairing: Karen Page/Frank Castle

Rating: Teen [PG]

Word Count: 52,825

Summary: Karen said she wanted an after for Frank. Maybe she needs an after for herself too.

Recommendation: This was so great! I love the sweet, slow domestication between Karen and Frank. I love the far more sensible backstory for Karen. I love that she gets to spend quality time with other women (Jess, Trish, Marci) and that she and Frank get to have a stable and supportive friend circle. And all of this happens with some plot and an adorable dog, and all the good things. *sigh* So good.

Title: Middle Age Spread

Author: Write_like_an_American

Canon: Guardians of the Galaxy/MCU

Pairing: Yondu Udonta/Kraglin Obfonteri

Rating: Explicit [NC-17]

Word Count: 51,407

Summary: Yondu thought he was too old to get knocked up. Yondu was wrong.

Recommendation: Okay, so Mpreg is usually not my thing but come on, incredibly badass and deadly space pirate gets knocked up by accident because his species can do that sometimes and canonically males of his species carry young in pouches like a kangaroo. Couldn't say no and I'm glad I didn't. It's cool that Peter sticks around, and they eventually manage to communicate. Kraglin is adorable. I'm almost not sure how he could make it as a Ravager because even in the movies he was kind of adorable. Yondu. Is. Bad. Ass. Carrying babies, not carrying babies doesn't matter. Uncommunicative quite a lot of the time but Badass.
